VERSE:
C G
Playing king of the mountain on a dead end street
F
At the end of the block is where we cut our teeth
C G
The world was trying to sweep up off our feet
F
I’d run home crying with cut up knees
D F
“Alright,” Mama said. “It’s alright.”
C G
Now nothing’s and it never will
F
When you learn to swallow defeat like a bitter pill

Remember the story about Jack ‘n’ Jill

They ended up driving in a Coupe de Ville

You don’t know when your ship will arrive

Stand and fight, you just might win
Bb
When the ride gets rough
F
Hold on tight
Eb C G F C G F
Someday just might be tonight
VERSE:
C G
You’re the kind that goes swimming with a raincoat on

Who’s to say if you are right or wrong
C G
Let me know when you figured it out

Just don’t go drowning in a shadow of doubt
D F
Don’t let the bastards make up your mind

They had to bleed for little victories
